    SONY NW-ZX700

    Thanks for sharing, yes I had read the earlier post - confirms Walkman Player reading m3u but not export capabilities for edited playlists. From your experience it sounds like it will be tricky. That's a dealbreaker for me, unfortunately. A pity, this almost got me back into DAPs!

    SONY NW-ZX700

    Thanks, that's one question down! I don't think I worded my other ones well. 1) I think Walkman Player will read m3u playlist files stored in the MUSIC/ folder root, but does anyone know if these are then editable - I can add further songs to the playlists they store? 2) If so, can these...

    SONY NW-ZX700

    I'm thinking of picking up a ZX707 but have a few questions that I can't seem to answer browsing this and other threads. 1) I have a 600gb mp3/flac library with extensive playlists, currently saved locally on PC as mbp files (MusicBee) but convertible to m3u. If I copy the entire library to an...

    Oops sorry, double post. Meant to thank you for the extra tip, which I shall follow.

    Mark Levinson № 5909 headphone

    Thanks, these are exactly the kind of instructions I was hoping for. I'll try my hand at gluing the cheap, fakely stitched, flimsy, styrofoam-filled, DIY-requiring pleather-plastic headband back together on these £1k headphones. Will post some pics of the inevitable mess that follows.

    Sorry to hear you got stuck with these. What made you order them, out of interest? If you have had no need to disassemble the original headband?

    Mark Levinson № 5909 headphone

    Has anyone taken apart the headband for their 5909s? I can see from a spare part listing on ebay that it splits into two parts, as in the photo. The leather padding is attached to an inner plastic rim, which then seems to click into the outer hard plastic band. But I cannot seem to separate mine...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Just a qualifier to this - it doesn't work well with cellphone, which does not provide enough power to the DDC. For that you would need the U2 Pro, which has its own power supply. The U2 is good though for PC and laptop, and some tablets.

    Douk Audio U2 Pro DDC - Poorman DDC for an affordable & clean digital signal

    Thanks yes it's not to reduce noise on phone but to provide a stable connection via optical from Douk to Mojo 2. With USB from phone I get white noise attacks but not via optical or coax. Yep UAPP for Android wired output is a must. For BT from phone I use Mark Levinson 5909 which are OK...

    Douk Audio U2 Pro DDC - Poorman DDC for an affordable & clean digital signal

    Thanks Sajunky for replying and for the suggestions. My main reason for getting U2 over the Pro is that I wanted to be able to use on the go, connecting my android phone to my Mojo 2. My fault for not researching fully before buying. I will probably return it for now, and maybe buy U2 Pro...

    SONY IER-Z1R

    I've come this close to pulling the trigger on some grey market IER-Z1R imports, having enjoyed reading this thread over the past few weeks. But have just got to the end and reached the discontinuation news sad ending... does anyone have any hunches on the likelihood of a successor in the next...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Thanks Rayon, I have been playing around with laptop > Douk U2 > Mojo 2 via optical and I do know what you mean about the soundstage. It's also crystal clear, almost jarringly so. Unfortunately, I didn't research the U2 well enough before buying and hadn't realised that a phone would not give...

    Thank you both again for your comments. I have been testing out glass optical (first to arrive in post) and so far, so good. Will compare with plastic one when it arrives.

    Douk Audio U2 Pro DDC - Poorman DDC for an affordable & clean digital signal

    I picked up a U2 (not Pro) last week, and am trying to settle in with it connected to Mojo 2 via optical, but there are two things I'm struggling with. 1) Android phone. I've seen two posts in this thread where people seem to have it working (maybe Pro though?), but it's a dud for me with...

    Mark Levinson № 5909 headphone

    Could you explain exactly how you glued the cheap pleather headband back together after it peeled away? Mine has just come unstuck after 3 months of use, though thankfully I had read this thread and so was prepared for it, especially as I live in a country with 90% humidity at 33c heat. I just...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Thank you both for replying. Will get a basic one from a local store and ship in a nicer glass one so that I can test for myself.

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Thanks Hakuna, am trying this and have the Douk U2 arriving this week. What optical cable are you using there? I read Rob Watts saying that he used a cheap Kabel Direkt one for testing, but I can't seem to find a good deal with them where I live.

    Mark Levinson № 5909 headphone

    Have had my new 5909s for a few weeks now and am enjoying them very much, and especially enjoying playing around with passive mode + Mojo 2. For my 5909 + Mojo 2 bros, I'm interested to know what EQ settings you use with these headphones? I find the bass a little light when listening to hip-hop...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Thanks to all who replied about battery life. Today I charged it fully to magenta, and it's still blue 2 hours in, so - as promised - I retract my earlier implication of dubious longevity. Will do a full test at some point from magenta to lights out, but for now it's looking good.

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    I just received my Mojo 2 and love it's sound and functionality. However I too am struggling to understand the battery indicators. Today (3rd use) I charged the battery to blue, and then used it undocked for 2.5 hours. In that time it dropped to yellow, indicating that it has dipped beneath 40%...

    Mark Levinson № 5909 headphone

    OK thanks that's good to know. I thought I'd read other posters in this thread saying that they found these cans to be underpowered when running from the laptop with USB-C. Is that not your experience then? Sounds like my Mojo 2 may have been overkill, though a nice toy to have anyway I guess.
